Motoart is not the only company that turns vintage aviation parts into fixtures for the home and office. Giancarlo De Astis is a Los Angeles based designer who picks airplane parts dumped in Arizona junkyards and turns them into stylish furniture. During this inventive process, flaps, wings, canopies, turbines and other parts of aircrafts are reborn as distinct and functional furniture — desks, tables, credenzas, cabinets, and lamps. Some of his most amazing creations are the Latro Primo desk, the Lo Squalo club chair, and the Sole conference table. The Latro Primo ($5,500- $8,900) is made from the rear stabilizer of a Beechcraft 18/C-45. The Lo Squalo club chair ($5,000- $8,500) is made from the air cooling engine scoop of a DC6/7. The II Sole conference table ($10,000) has been inducted in The Smithsonian Institute’s National Air Space Museum and is made from the first stage of a Pratt & Whitney JT8D jet engine case fan.
Customers can even customize these fixtures to suit their liking. Giancarlo precisely selects each airplane part that beams the brilliance of its engineered design. The kind of aeronautical art Giancarlo De Astis creates is sure enough to amaze the observers.

3 developers from Austria are launching a fully interactive touchscreen desk this week that connects to your iPhone 3Gs or 4. The last time I literally swooned over office furniture was when I caught sight of the "Hans Solo Encased in Carbonite" desk. But this makes that look like child's play. Pricing is set to be released in the next few weeks.

Walking a mere 1 to 2 mph while working on a computer or making phone calls can reduce stress, improve circulation, and burn twice as many calories as a sedentary position--without inducing heavy breathing or sweating. The 72" x 34" desktop accommodates a computer, telephone, and paper work, it adjusts from 46 1/2" to 56 1/2" high, and its u-shaped design keeps items within reach, providing the same comforts as a traditional desk. It has a four-level file tray, a manuscript stand that holds reading material upright, two cup holders, and beveled desktop edges to ensure arm comfort while typing. The substantial powder-coated steel frame and steel reinforced polycarbonate desktop withstand years of use. Folds to 1/2 its operational size for storage. Assembles in 45 minutes. Treadmill not included. 72" W x 34" D x 46 1/2" to 56 1/2" H. (83 lbs.)
$399.95 (treadmill not included!)

The company is called Way Basics, and the product is the zBoard. All of Way Basics furniture is composed of boards they call ‘zBoards’, which are all composed of 99% post-consumer recycled paper!
I’ve recently acquired a Red and Orange cube from these guys, and I was amazed at how strong these boards are. They felt just as durable as particle board, but they were a lot lighter. I even did the impossible and stood on my cube (I weigh about 170 lbs.) and it held my weight!
One of the coolest things (aside from the eco factor), is that the furniture requires zero tools for assembly. All of the boards are held by a double-sided tape from 3M. I had my doubts, but the tape is incredibly strong and held the cubes really well.
The item I recommend is a 3 Spinning Cube set, which contains three cubes and two spinning plates so you can spin around the Cubes 360 degrees. But if spinning cubes aren’t your thing, Way Basics offers an entire line of products on their homepage: http://www.waybasics.com/shop/
They even offer an array of colors, ranging from natural wood grains such as Cedar and Espresso, to hot pink! You can mix and match colors, or just order in a single shade.
I am also a fan of Way Basics on Facebook (they are offering weekly giveaways exclusively to Facebook fans), so be sure to check them out there.
Bottom line: Way Basics is offering an incredible product for an incredibly affordable price, single Cubes start at $20. Do yourself and the environment a favor, check them out!
